Re: [PP-DIALOG] Call for Comments - Patent Policy

Dear David, Dear all,

I am pleased to see IEEE-SA progress in the much-needed review of its 2015 patent policy changes (as amended six times thereafter).

In November 2020, together with multiple other signatories affiliated with IEEE-SA corporate members, I wrote to IEEE-SA explaining why rescinding all the 2015 IEEE patent policy changes, i.e., reverting back to the consistent policy that was in effect until 14 March 2015, would be in the best interest of IEEE-SA.  Hence, I am surprised not to see that option as a "stand alone" option in this recent call for comments, while the opposite proposal of "keeping all the 2015 changes" appears as option 1.

The PatCom process that led to this call for public comments was neither open nor transparent. I was not privy to the development of this call and don't know who was. This announcement therefore was first opportunity to weigh in, and we still have sufficient time for parties to consider developing and filing comments. 

Given the above, and since the stated goal is selecting the most appropriate approach for the IEEE-SA patent policy, would PatCom please add a "stand alone" option 4 of "Removing all 2015 policy changes, i.e., reverting to the patent policy in effect on 14 March 2015"? 

If IEEE-SA chooses such tested and proven path it could, of course, consider pros and cons of additional optional features thereto, if any, at the choice of each LOA submitter. 

Thanks,

Dear pp-dialog,
